The stock market to-day was weak almost all
day long, and prices tonight show material
losses in ali the active stocks. The dealings.
for the most part, were dull, because the
s.bulls" took little interest in the market, appar
emily. The immediate depressing influence was
the illness of the German Crown Prince which
caused the throwing over Of stocks in Europe
and the selling ~ the foreigners here as
natural consequence. The excitement in Chi
eego over the Anarchists made the means
of intirnidatng buyers by the .'bears, to which
added some hammering.
The bulls seem to offer resistance TO the
reaction and are believed not TO be averse to it,
as realizations of late have left some of them
without line of stocks There was q contest
